Cornfields???

[skirun14]

Ive seen two different ways to model a cornfield so far (astro turf and Alkem brass corn) and i was wondering if anyone else has any ideas on modeling a cornfield. Thanks

Check out the latest issue (Sept 06) of Model Railroader. There's a couple of pages on how to do this.

Hi skirun14, Sometime ago I read an article about that, using cut up imitation mini xmas tree branches. I'll try and find it .

Howdy,

Musket Minitures has nice cast metal stalks that are really detailed. See ehat you think: http://www.musketminiatures.com/

Hope it helps.

Hi skirun14, I've found that article I mentioned--Railmodel Journal June 1995. Basically you buy a xmas wreath, cut it into 1 1/2" long pieces, thin each of them out so they're not too bushy, hold in thin nose pliers & heat gently with hot air gun. Spray Depot Buff, plant where reqd!! Hope that helps:thumb:
